OpenGL Headline News

Khronos has announced that it has created two new API initiatives as compliments to OpenGL ES and OpenML. The OpenVG API that will provide a low-level hardware acceleration interface for vector graphics libraries such as Flash and SVG on handheld devices. The OpenMAX API will standardize access to media processing primitives, used extensively in graphics libraries and video codecs such as OpenGL ES and MPEG-4, to rapidly and effectively make use of the full acceleration potential of new silicon.
